Om Nom Nom

Om nom nom microwave mug cake!

Well welcome to my first lazy Om Nom Nom recipe. For all of you out there like me with a passion for all things sweet and cakey this recipe is for you! Microwave Mug Cake! There are many renditions of this recipe so once you have got it down to a tee, go wild and add what you want! It never fails to keep me happy when I am craving something sweet and simple.

So if you are student and want something quick, a parent who wants to keep their kids happy or if you just want some darn cake and can't be bothered to wait then keep reading!



Ingredients! 

• 4 tbsp self raising flour
• 4 tbsp caster sugar
• 2tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 medium egg
• 3 tbsp milk
• 3 tbsp vegetable/sunflower oil
• A few drops of essence e.g. vanilla, orange peppermint (I usually just shove in whatever is in the cupboard)
• 2 tbsp chocolate chips/nuts/raisins (optional)

The simple steps even a lazy baby could do! 

1. Use the largest mug you have to avoid it overflowing in the microwave. (We all have that huge mug reserved for lazy days drinking tea or reserved for hangover coffee). 

2. Add the flour, sugar and cocoa powder to the mug and mix.

3. Add the egg to the mixture. Mix in as much as you can but don't worry if there is still dry mix left. 

4. Add all the other ingredients apart from the choc chips etc (If you are adding them but...who wouldn't!) and mix until it is smooth.

5. Add the chocolate chips/nuts/raisins and mix well. (Seriously who wouldn't add chocolate?)

6. Center your mug in the middle of the microwave, and cook on high for 4-5 minutes, or until it has stopped rising and is firm to touch. Watch it rise as it cooks! (But if you are anything like me you will be stood there staring at it holding a spoon impatiently tapping your foot waiting for it). 

7. Apply vigorously to face!

There you have it! Simple right? Now if you have read this and are sat there wandering whether you have all of the ingredients in your kitchen and failing to find them don't worry! ...Wait you can, but i'm sat eating Ben and Jerry's right now so i'm fine! Wait...you want some? Sod off! Cookie dough is mine, go make some cake! It's simple enough! 

Happy nommings!
